Creating a Word.Application COM object needs a new instance of WI NWORD.EXE?

[Shawn Grover]

I'm using the following code:

<CFTRY>
    <!--- If it exists, connect to it --->
<br>Trying to connect to Word Object
    <CFOBJECT
        ACTION=""
        CLASS="Word.Application"
        NAME="oWord"
        TYPE="COM">
  <CFCATCH>
    <!--- The object doesn't exist, so create it --->
<br>Word Object not found, trying to create one
    <CFOBJECT
        ACTION=""
        CLASS="Word.Application"
        NAME="oWord"
        TYPE="COM">
  </CFCATCH>
</CFTRY>

I don't see the catch section running, so I'm apparently connecting to an
existing instance of a Word Object.  However, I am getting a new WINWORD.EXE
process running whenever I run this code.  The moment I have a second
instance (or more), my processing begins to bog down badly.

Is there any way to prevent this situation?

Thanks.

Shawn
